Are you over 40 and constantly waking up at 3AM — wide awake, anxious, and unable to fall back asleep? You’re not alone, and you’re not broken. This common midlife sleep disruption is often a sign that your cortisol and melatonin rhythms are out of sync — and in this episode, I’ll show you how to gently reset them.
We’ll explore why your hormones, blood sugar, and brainwave patterns are impacting your sleep, and I’ll walk you through three easy, natural fixes you can start today to restore your circadian rhythm and finally get the rest you need.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ Why waking up at 3AM is a cortisol and blood sugar issue, not just insomnia
✅ How your morning routine (yes, even scrolling your phone!) impacts your sleep at night
✅ The power of red light therapy in the morning and evening
✅ How to use protein, healthy fats, and carb timing to stabilize blood sugar and prevent middle-of-the-night wake-ups
